SHOW NOTESTwo big reasons for having today's guest on the show, and how I've been using Sanbo Zen meditation to stay mentally engaged and emotionally grounded during the pandemic. [00:00]Who is Andrew Huberman? [03:35]What's new and exciting in the world of neuroscience: how did we get here, who's getting involved, and where are we going? [05:26]What practical applications of neuroscientific discoveries does Andrew see becoming available in the not-too-distant future? [13:37]What is the vagus nerve, and how can it be manipulated to promote physical and mental well-being? [16:25]The therapeutic potential of neuromodulation and how it compares to traditional treatments. [24:46]Does treating neurological disorders (such as depression) with these new technologies last over the long haul, and is there concern they're just relieving symptoms without addressing their root causes? [27:06]Until this technology becomes available to consumers, what does Andrew suggest for people looking to improve their mood, hone their focus, and feel more productive? [31:53]Why exposing yourself to bright, natural light early in the day is essential for establishing optimal sleep patterns, how much is ideal, and why getting outside for your daily dose is key. [34:36]Why Andrew doesn't endorse blue-light blocking glasses to alleviate the effects of late-night exposure, and what he recommends instead. [38:46]Breathing exercises for stress reduction: physiological sighs contrasted with the Wim Hof method. [42:07]A practice Andrew considers to be "the one that has had the greatest effect on everything from ability to buffer stress [to] learning and memory": yoga nidra, or NSDR (non-sleep deep rest). [49:04]Nostril breathing versus mouth breathing. [52:32]How it's currently believed the glymphatic system works to remove neurotoxic waste from our brains as we sleep, protecting us against degenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease. [57:29]Why Andrew does not recommend melatonin supplements for sleep -- and what he uses instead. [1:01:29]Supplements that may increase testosterone. [1:06:31]The pros and possible cons of creatine. [1:08:04]Why men shouldn't treat estrogen like an enemy, and what we should know about turmeric's effect on DHT. [1:08:44]Why there's no catch-all supplement to increase "cognitive" function, and one of the surprising compounds some of Andrew's Nobel-winning colleagues take for focus that he doesn't personally recommend. [1:10:15]Some cognitive-boosting supplements Andrew does recommend (and a few more he definitely does not). [1:11:54]Parting thoughts.

Yoseph Ayele is an entrepreneur who, for almost seven years, has been building the Edmund Hillary Fellowship and the Global Impact Visa -- an immigration program and a fellowship community combined together to catalyze positive change from Aotearoa (New Zealand).Yoseph joins us to discuss how his own lousy experience as an aspiring legal immigrant to the United States galvanized a movement for systematic reform and established New Zealand as a base of operations for skilled ex-pats like him to change the world.SELECTED LINKS AND RESOURCESGlobal Impact Visa (GIVs) | Immigration New ZealandEdmund Hillary FellowshipYoseph Ayele | TwitterYoseph Ayele | LinkedInYoseph Ayele | MediumYoseph Ayele: The Way We Think About Immigration is Flawed | TEDxAuckland1983–1985 Famine in Ethiopia | WikipediaWelcome, Entrepreneurs | Harvard GazetteInflection8 Things to Consider When Collecting Stamps | ChubbA Mister Rogers Postage Stamp, and a Legacy That’s Anything But Make-Believe | The New York TimesAnts Build Complex Structures With a Few Simple Rules | Quanta MagazineLeading Change From The Edge Of The Map | Yoseph Ayele, Edmund Hillary FellowshipEnspiralSteve Jobs: "Death is Very Likely the Best Single Invention of Life.

[00:00]Where did Yoseph's journey as an entrepreneur begin, how did his dreams of living in the United States falter (in spite of being a Harvard graduate with a Silicon Valley job), and what made him set his sights on New Zealand as the home where he now hangs his hat? [02:25]How did young Yoseph's parents foster an environment for exploration and learning? [10:12]What inspired Yoseph's comparison of the value of diversity to the health of a thriving ecosystem? [12:16]How does Yoseph practically apply the principles of an ecosystem to a business (even when one of those principles might be what Steve Jobs called "life's change agent": death)? [15:37]What was Yoseph's point of entry when he decided upon New Zealand as the next chapter in his journey, and what convinced him that doing things the "number eight wire" way was better than the Silicon Valley approach with which he was already familiar? [19:49]Examples of what "number eight wire" looks like applied to the real world of New Zealand entrepreneurship. [22:58]Why does Yoseph believe New Zealand fosters such a strong spirit of scrappy resourcefulness? [25:19]Yoseph explains how his team's networking efforts expanded into what he refers to as ecosystem bridges -- bringing in new talent from overseas and recapturing talent from over a million expatriated New Zealanders. [27:15]How does Yoseph propose selling the upsides of immigration and diversity to communities that may be set in their ways and fearful of change -- even when that change is positive? [30:52]How did the Global Impact Visa go from idea to law in the breakneck policy pace of 12 months, and how did working with the New Zealand government differ from that of comparable bureaucracy in the United States? [34:03]Since the most innovative candidates for immigration don't always look impressive on paper, and aspirants who appear promising at first glance may only excel at filling out applications, what did Yoseph's team do to ensure quality control without falling into the checkboxes trap he'd encountered in the United States? [40:04]Yoseph points out that being an immigrant is one of the most entrepreneurial-spirited endeavors a human being can take on. How the success of the Global Impact Visa led to what became the community-building Edmund Hillary Fellowship. [42:59]How many applicants has EHF had in the past four years, and how many have been accepted? What are the markers that indicate a good fit during the selection process? [46:01]What fruits have formed after four years of labor, and what does Yoseph hope to see for EHF's next four years and beyond -- for its fellows and community? [48:59]How can EHF work to preserve the values that make New Zealand society so appealing and unique while simultaneously reaping the benefits of recruiting outside thinking? [51:58]Immigration as diplomacy: what the rest of the world can learn from these efforts. [55:11]Why does Yoseph believe New Zealand has been so successful in tackling COVID compared to how it's been handled virtually everywhere else? Will the country's tempered judgment and good fortune prevail when faced with future catastrophes? [58:56]Parting thoughts, and what listeners interested in emigrating to New Zealand can do to begin their own journey.

[04:38] The pros and cons of Transcendental Meditation (TM) as we understood them, and why we each chose to move on. [09:09] An awakening epiphany Henry experienced around the time he wrote his first book -- before he discovered meditation. [11:00] One problem with epiphanies: they don't come with a user's manual. [17:53] Further musings (and concerns) about TM. [22:22] Henry shares an overview of Zen and how he became involved with it. [25:49] What is a koan? [28:41] Zen vs. psychedelics. [29:48] Can enlightenment be explained by existing language, or does it need to be experienced? [34:25] The "emptiness" of Buddhism, the relief of lightening psychic burdens, and some thoughts on the way our senses process reality. [36:09] Zen is not always about enlightenment, but applying the practice to the practical aspects of our lives. [43:10] What does Henry's Zen practice look like, and how does someone get involved? [45:21] What are the benefits of having a guide when you're learning to meditate? Does Henry consider it necessary for everybody? [47:42] A koan awakening. [52:23] The importance of recognizing life's transformational passages as we encounter them, as well as the beauty of valuing the ordinary. [54:50] How does Henry go from appreciating life's mundane moments to coping with 2020's more sensational aspects like politics and COVID-19? [58:50] Feeling powerless to engage in the political process? Take a lesson from the bodhisattvas and help work toward good without getting wrapped up in potential outcomes. [1:06:04] A deeper dive into koans and how we can work with them. [1:08:13] A computer science guy's approach to understanding koans. [1:12:52] Henry takes us through a few particularly famous koans. [1:16:07] Are koans ever meant to shock a student into enlightenment? [1:20:59] What can we expect from Henry's latest book, One Blade of Grass: Finding the Old Road of the Heart, a Zen Memoir?

"You can think of exercise as an intravenous dose of hope." ~Kelly McGonigalKelly McGonigal (@kellymcgonigal) is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University who specializes in understanding the mind-body connection. As a pioneer in the field of "science-help," her mission is to translate insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical strategies that support personal well-being and strengthen communities.She is the best-selling author of The Willpower Instinct and The Upside of Stress.Through the Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism, she helped create Stanford Compassion Cultivation Training, a program now taught around the world that helps individuals strengthen their empathy, compassion, and self-compassion.You might know her from her TED talk, "How to Make Stress Your Friend," which is one of the most viewed TED talks of all time, with over 20 million views.Her new book, The Joy of Movement, explores why physical exercise is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness.In this episode, we talk about everything from tai chi to ultra-marathons to dance, and we really get into the science around how these different movements produce chemical changes in our brains that lift our mood and reduce anxiety and depression. Here, Kelly gives us the scoop about something called "hope molecules" and the minimum effective dose of movement required to produce them.Connect with Kelly: Website | Twitter | Facebook | InstagramLinks from this episode:The Joy of Movement: How Exercise Helps Us Find Happiness, Hope, Connection, and Courage by Kelly McGonigalThe Upside of Stress: Why Stress Is Good for You, and How to Get Good at It by Kelly McGonigalOther Books by Kelly McGonigalThe Stanford Center for Compassion and AltruismHow to Make Stress Your Friend by Kelly McGonigal, TEDGlobal 2013StudioNia, PortlandTai Chi: A Gentle Way to Fight Stress, The Mayo ClinicA History and Style Guide of Tae Kwon Do, LiveAboutYoga for Everyone, The New York TimesUltra-Endurance Athletics, The Why?

More information here: foundationpodcast.info. [00:03]Who is Kelly McGonigal, how has she helped me, and how will her message here help you? [01:16]What is Nia, and what does it aim to convey through music and movement? [02:43]How did Kelly get into using movement as a way to facilitate mental well-being, and what compelled her to delve into the science behind it that she shares in The Joy of Movement? [05:25]Two revelations about the direct connection between muscle movement and mental health that blew Kelly's mind when she started digging into this research. [07:05]What's the anthropological take on why we experience a high after exercise (particularly running)? [11:03]What does Kelly recommend as the minimum effective dose of exercise for us to really enjoy its mental benefits? Should it be enough to scare up a heartbeat that replicates fear and the courage by which it can be overcome? [14:40]Good news regarding the minimum dose if all you want to do is feel better. [18:32]The science we have so far suggests these two reasons we feel better with even a tiny dose of physical activity. [19:28]What have scientists discovered by trying to take the joy out of movement? [22:06]Pairing movement with nature (e.g., forest bathing). [24:20]Pairing movement with music. [25:27]How Kelly learned to love indoor cycling (after hating it at first). [26:04]Pairing movement with teamwork/competition. [26:34]Pairing movement with animal companionship. [26:59]Can't dance. Won't dance. [27:17]Kelly's impressions of the ultra-endurance world. [27:54]Proof you don't have to conform to a certain body type or be impervious to fear in order to experience the joy of movement. [28:44]Misery loves company -- but so does joy. [31:21]Fighting Parkinson's disease with dance at Juilliard. [33:45]How depression and grief work to demobilize and demotivate us by mechanisms eerily similar to Parkinson's disease. [38:19]What's your emotional temperature? Understanding the factors that contribute to your core affect. [39:16]Kelly's take on the modern need for constant stimulation via devices and how it relates to the brain's default state in contrast to different methods like meditation. [42:27]Outside of movement, what other ingredients does Kelly find important for holistic mental self-care? [46:21]What does Kelly hope are the chief takeaways people will remember after reading The Joy of Movement? [48:39]As someone who's spent the majority of her life moving, did Kelly discover and experiment with any movement forms that were new to her during the course of doing research for The Joy of Movement? How does she feel about exercise that takes place outside of her comfort zone? [52:03]Kelly gives us a brief history of the science behind her earlier work,, and how research has changed what we know about stress in recent years.A brief history of the science of stress, why our initial impression of it as a purely negative force has been so hard to shake in spite of being disproven by decades of research, and what Kelly did to set the record straight by writing The Upside of Stress. [53:40]Kelly's thoughts on how I've been coping with stress for the past six months or so, and why society's need to blame every bad thing that happens to us on "stress" hurts more than it helps. [59:25]As a psychiatrist, what does Kelly think of psychedelics as a potential course of treatment? [1:03:05]Parting thoughts, and how to best connect with Kelly.
